Zhengjun Xing 91c9923a47 perf parse: Fix event parser error for hybrid systems
This bug happened on hybrid systems when both cpu_core and cpu_atom
have the same event name such as "UOPS_RETIRED.MS" while their event
terms are different, then during perf stat, the event for cpu_atom
will parse fail and then no output for cpu_atom.

UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_core/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x4,event=0xc2,frontend=0x8/
UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_atom/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x1,event=0xc2/

It is because event terms in the "head" of parse_events_multi_pmu_add
will be changed to event terms for cpu_core after parsing UOPS_RETIRED.MS
for cpu_core, then when parsing the same event for cpu_atom, it still
uses the event terms for cpu_core, but event terms for cpu_atom are
different with cpu_core, the event parses for cpu_atom will fail. This
patch fixes it, the event terms should be parsed from the original
event.

This patch can work for the hybrid systems that have the same event
in more than 2 PMUs. It also can work in non-hybrid systems.

Before:

  # perf stat -v  -e  UOPS_RETIRED.MS  -a sleep 1

  Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-97-1
  UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_core/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x4,event=0xc2,frontend=0x8/
  Control descriptor is not initialized
  UOPS_RETIRED.MS: 2737845 16068518485 16068518485

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

         2,737,845      cpu_core/UOPS_RETIRED.MS/

       1.002553850 seconds time elapsed

After:

  # perf stat -v  -e  UOPS_RETIRED.MS  -a sleep 1

  Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-97-1
  UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_core/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x4,event=0xc2,frontend=0x8/
  UOPS_RETIRED.MS -> cpu_atom/period=0x1e8483,umask=0x1,event=0xc2/
  Control descriptor is not initialized
  UOPS_RETIRED.MS: 1977555 16076950711 16076950711
  UOPS_RETIRED.MS: 568684 8038694234 8038694234

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

         1,977,555      cpu_core/UOPS_RETIRED.MS/
           568,684      cpu_atom/UOPS_RETIRED.MS/

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
